The Canon EOS R8 emerges as a groundbreaking addition to the Canon full-frame mirrorless lineup, boasting a remarkable 24.2MP CMOS sensor coupled with the advanced Digic X processor. This pairing results in a monumental leap in image quality, outshining its predecessor with limited dynamic range.
Image Quality Advancements
Transitioning from my trusty Sony, the Canon EOS R8 has astounded me with its notable improvements. The signal-to-noise ratio at high ISO settings and during shadow recovery showcased a significant upgrade, delivering cleaner and more detailed images. The expanded dynamic range further elevated the visual narrative, adding depth and realism to every shot.
For properly exposed photos, the need for medium noise reduction, typically above +30 in Lightroom, is minimized, especially in images captured at ISO4000 or higher. While we've primarily utilized RAW format, eager to explore cRAW's smaller file sizes, especially in low-light scenarios, a testament to the EOS R8's adaptability
